The sonnet, titled “For I Know That My Redeemer Liveth, and That He Shall Stand at the Latter Day Upon the Earth,” is a bold proclamation of Christ’s eternal and triumphant reign, drawing inspiration from Job 19:25: “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth” (KJV). Crafted in Shakespearean form with the rhyme scheme ABAB CDCD EFEF GG and iambic pentameter, it celebrates the Savior’s unassailable sovereignty. The first quatrain portrays a King whose power and glory overcome all opposition, illuminating the darkness. The second quatrain depicts His stand on the latter day, where nature submits and His authority extends across the earth in unending strength. The third quatrain elevates His reign beyond time, with heavens and stars honoring His grace, His rule encompassing all existence. The final couplet urges earth and sky to sing His triumph, declaring Christ the everlasting King. Written without first-person references, the sonnet transforms Job’s personal affirmation into a universal anthem of victory.

A King ascends, His power knows no end,
His glory fills the skies with radiant might,
No foe can stand, no storm His will can bend,
His throne commands the day, dispels the night.
The latter day reveals His sovereign stand,
The seas retreat, the hills His name adore,
His scepter gleams o’er earth’s unyielding land,
Eternal strength shall echo evermore.
The heavens laud His reign through endless years,
The stars bow down beneath His boundless grace,
His crown prevails where mortal time disappears,
And spans all realms in one victorious space.
Let earth and sky His endless triumph sing,
Christ reigns supreme, the everlasting King!
